re: #71 teleskiguy

UpChuck and our new pal Laurel (and all the rest that think like them) are ghouls. They would rather their loved ones die in writhing pain whilst attached to machines and tubes in a hospital bed surrounded by strangers.

Brittany Maynard died at home surrounded by loved ones. She took some drugs, fell asleep and didn’t wake up. She’s no longer suffering. And I applaud her advocacy of Death with Dignity.

Hasn’t that been something we’ve all said or heard another say in our lives? “I’d rather go peacefully in my sleep”? So why on Earth would one feel that choosing to do that is wrong, compared to lying in agony in a hospital bed?
